My design values

I have noticed lately that a majority of the jewelry that I have been creating has a minimalistic look and style. But most of the time when I am looking through magazines, other artists work and just in the environment around me for inspiration and an idea hits me and I impose the first stages of a new design and my vision of the finished work is much more elaborate. But as I think about the details and how I will construct the design piece these things begin to change: the elements and techniques I can use, the arrangement, maybe the colors that I can use, the placement of beads, bead types, and whether or not I will use stones and/or wire in the design. There are a lot of things to consider when I am designing but my potential customer and quality materials, durable construction, customer value as well as providing exceptional service are my first priorities.
